[HoneyMum21]

How many babies are we going to get on this thread?

I'm going to kill my MIL.

Oh no, what now homey

Ha ha! Meant honey

Oh honey, why?

Your autocorrect is on top form emily

Go on honey spill, I love a good mil rant!

Quick brain scan done and all looks clear but going to do more detailed one tomorrow. His sugar levels dropped a bit with the big milk increases so they're just going to slow it down a bit but hopefully he'll be off the glucose by tomorrow. Poor dd has an ear infection but loves the doctors set Felix bought her

Hoping for more baby news in the morning my bet is with....... kate although I've not had a show before (not that I've seen) that's what it sounds like to me!

After crying and saying we'd hurt her feelings by saying we weren't having overnight stays till we're used to Dash and we offered to pay for her to stay overnight somewhere tonight but she's a manipulating cow a difficult woman who liked to make a point so on Tuesday she said shed sort somewhere to stay. Yesterday she phoned DH to say she had a cold and might not come then phoned back ad said she would be getting the train (derby to Newcastle then to our town) and arriving at 12 and leaving at 4. This was obviously to make us feel guilty about not staying despite he fact we'd offered to sort her out somewhere to stay. Also loads of trains to Newcastle are off because of the weather. She then phoned in tears to say her train was delayed and didn't know what time she'd get in and would miss her connection. I phoned her back and said of she got a taxi from Newcastle I'd pay for it. To which she hung up the phone. She had obviously got the difficult train expecting us to say to stay over. She eventually arrived, took Dash for a cuddle (I didn't get him back for 3 hours even when he was crying to be fed), ignored the lunch we'd done and virtually ignored me. DH tried to make conversation but she was being really difficult. Despite us explaining clearly, a number of times, our feelings an our reasons behind the not having people to stay policy she said 'so if I come up before Christmas will I be allowed to stay here?' (She hasn't been invited, she just assumes we want to see here). DH explained our reasoning again and said she was welcome to come up but we still wouldn't be having people stay. She took the hump and made some little digs and commented on my weight (she is very aware I've had eating problems and that the whole pregnancy weight thing was hard for me) and claimed we hadn't told her a load of stuff that we had and complained that we put pictures of Dash on Facebook but she can't see them (if it mean that much to her surely shed just sign up to FB?) DH walked her to the station and she had some more digs. He came home fuming and pretty much ready to cut her out of our lives completely as he is still trying to make everything all about her when we have a new baby to think about which is infinitely more important. (She has always been able to manipulate DH into doing things her way and making her centre of the universe)

This doesn't actually sound that bad written down but it was awful and the stress has also effected my milk

Sorry, epic post. But I really needed to vent.

If she hasn't been trying to make a point she could have come up by car -like she normally does and would have been quicker because of trains being off because of landslides earlier in the week. She could have had thee evening and a nice meal with us, stayed at the B and B down the road and seen us tomorrow morning but instead tried to make a feel guilty anf only succeeded in pissing us off and possibly angering DH so much that she won't be seeing us for some time

Spotty - good to hear Felix is continuing to make progress.

Honey - hope you're ok. Feel free to rant away.

DS seems to be taking to hos big brother role really well. He was present during a meconium poo-splosion, and it didn't put him off. He kept handing me cotton wool and seems to have got a tad obsesed about when the next poo will be! Only problem is he is still insisting on calling DS2 (feels random typing that) the name he'd picked, which is different to the one we've chosen. Although it is a nice name, there were a few reasons we felt we couldn't use it and Nathaniel does suit him more. Maybe he can just have a special nickname from his big bro .....

Not meaning to be rude but havent had chance to catch up but needed to ask some advice baby seems to have been quiet today and have felt worried but has hicups now is that classed as movement when counting?

Hiccups aren't counted as movement ellie. Have you tried cold drink/stair climbing etc?

Yeah honey will try again who do i call if its night and im worried :(

We wanted to know how the car seat fitted so the taxi driver wasn't waiting ages for us to sort it on coming home day. We don't know if anyone with a car will be over again before I give birth so took the chance while we had it.
honey sounds like an awful day with MIL and she wouldn't be invited back to my house without an apology and an attitude change. At least your DP is on side with her being a bitch.
ispy Ds1 sounds adorable helping you out!
ellie call the labour ward at this stage if your worried, if they're not the right people they should transfer you to someone who can help. I also find something sugary gets mine going after a still day.

Call your Labour unit at your hospital - your midwife should have given you a number.

If you don't know it, I would call the general number for the hospital and ask to be put through.

Good luck and try not to worry. Also try sugary drinks - cold water does nothing for my baby, but a hot chocolate is usually more successful.

Honey, that sounds totally shit and manipulative. She is creating a rod for her own back. Focus on your baby and your husband -
She is responsible for her own choices.

honey your mil sounds like a right old cow! talk about cut off your nose

I will call labour ward thanks ladies not sure about sugary drink with gd

Mine also goes mad for cheesy, but that could just be baby taking after mummy. Hope you get some reassurance from the labour ward.

Oops, sorry Ellie - forgot you have GD. You can also try lying over on your left side.

Well done for sticking to your guns Honey. She sounds nasty and manipulative and personally I would probably tell her to fuck off or deal with it!

Honey I would expect that kind of behaviour from my personality disorder patients, and they would not get away with it. I agree with Emily, cutting off her nose to spite her face!!!

ISpy your DS sounds gorgeous, there are a lot of very odd nicknames in DHs family, but they are wonderful!

Spotty glad Felix's scan came back clear.

For the first time in weeks, I'm not angry at being pregnant, but I think that's because all my hostility is directed at my virus, which has now given me a raised temperature. How do you know if you have a chest infection?

Congratulations bella, weejo and ispy
You must all be over the moon to be snuggling your little ones!

Having a shit day,
Went to hospital at 10.00 for a CTG monitor, baby was very inactive so instead of being hooked up to the machine I was on it for over 1 hour,
Thought they might keep me in but they eventually seemed happy with his heart beat and let me come home,

Got home at lunch time, had blazing fekkin row with DH cos he got slightly drunk last night, and today he was just wanting to crash and do nothing when there is so much that I wanted to done, (38wks on Tuesday) so I took myself off out to the shops and left DH in charge of DS,
Came home to the house looking like a bomb had gone off and DH saying to me "we'll (meaning me) will tidy tomorrow!! (Not my effin mess and I've done enough today, I feel sore below and emotionally wrung out)

Now sitting/lying in bed, doing kick counter on baby,
And he's being really slow/lazy
Have only felt about 5 definite kicks in just over 1 hour,
Think there have been squirms but I'm now a paranoid wreck!
Just want him OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have made up with DH who is very apologetic and knows he was a total tit last night and today, but now he's taken himself off to the spare bed "to give me time to be still and quiet to feel baby incase we need to go to hospital again tonight - which translates in to - he's gone to have a sleep!!!!!

Congratulations to everyone who has had their babies, I tried to read all of the last thread but fell asleep. I promise to catch up properly soon.

....so I think I'm having contractions. I have felt horrific all day, went nauseous and had adrenaline rushes a couple of hours ago and my back has been hurting on and off. About two minutes ago I had quite a painful tightening across my tummy. Got the timer out.

ellie I hope everything's ok with LO. If you have to try a sugary drink it's not going to be the end of the world with regards to the gd. But I echo others labour ward is best.

Well I've had a few pains but after a bath they seem to have gone. I think in going to have to ignore all signs until it's definately happening.
